Fake News: Case filed with tech police charging health minister Anutin over alleged false vax statements

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Thailand's health minister and DPM Anutin Charnvirakul is at the center of claims that he misled the public over Thailand's vaccine rollout.

 

Yesterday the chief of the "Help Crime Victim Club" went to the tech police to file a complaint against the minister over statements he made that there would be no delays in the Thai vaccine rollout.

 

The opposite was proved to be true, it was claimed.

 

Atchariya Reuangrattanapong said that he had video evidence that on June 8th the minister said there would be no delay in vaccinations, reported Daily News.

 

He also had evidence that more than 100 hospitals had been forced to delay the rollout because they have no vaccines. 

 

He accused the minister of knowingly making false statements.

 

He said that this had caused large numbers of infections and death. 

 

He further claimed that Anutin had said in June that there would be enough vaccine for everyone's arms and enough to fill all hospitals. 

 

The only thing that was full in hospitals were wards of sick and dying people, he pointed out. 

 

He also slammed the minister for making a statement about the overcrowding situation at the Bang Sue railway vax center station about a picture being taken from a certain angle making it look worse than it was.

 

This was unbecoming of a man in his position, he said.

 

The complaint was accepted by the tech police.

Bravo, but unfortunately he has immunity from prosecution as well as the rest of the cabinet from action they said or made while in office I do believe. Maybe I am wrong though.....hmmm, let's see if it makes him wiggle.

[Denim]

Thoroughly deserved but won't get too far.

 

If they can have a formerly convicted drug smuggler on the team then any complaints against that whole team, including Anutin , won't amount to a hill of beans.

[mtls2005]

Oh, no he didn't.

 

 

[RotBenz8888]

He's able to say what ever he likes and get away with it. Sad but true. 

[nikmar]

Couldnt happen to a nicer man!!

[Thaiwrath]

The usual government excuse will be cited in his defense...................................... 

It was all a MISUNDERSTANDING !

Oh, yes he did!

 

This whole thing is just a pantomime.

[internationalism]

in his defence he can claim, he did not deport and ban any foreigners who refused to take face masks from his hands or wear their masks in public.

And the rest of his statements, addressed to thai, is just political theatre, a show, before the next general election. And that is fully allowed by law

A million vaccines per day?

10m Vaccines

Then each month has 10 days

 

Ah this excludes the holidays/long weekends etc.....

 

 

[JonnyF]

So fake news works both ways?

 

If only that were true. This case will go nowhere but fair play to K.Atchariya for pointing out these mistruths. I wish him all the best.

[DirtyHarry55]

Excellent finally the people start to fight back they should file charges over every peace of fake news they've released since they took office then they'd be in Court till they die. Also they should go after Anutins yellow shirt Virus doctor chum for fake news about Sinovac. No good of course under the "State Of Emergency" they have immunity from any and all wrong doings. How very convenient.

He should have added a second charge of fake news when Anutin said the covid situation would all be back to normal in 2 to 3 weeks, he made that statement in late April.

[TimBKK]

Love it

[HaoleBoy]

Lets add Thai General Natthaphol Nakphanich to the list of Fake News.  He stated:

 

Foreigners currently resident in Thailand "must receive 20% of a 1.5 million [dose] batch" of Covid-19 vaccines that the U.S. has commited to donate to Thailand, the chief of Thailand's National Security Council has been quoted as telling the country's media organizations.

 

The US has donated the Pfizer vaccine doses with "no strings attached".
Maybe the 20% is what they plan to steal for the politicians, hiso's, and military ...

Bravo... that is one... now another one to go.... Immunity or not , the law is for everyone

 

[jonclark]

And tomorrow Anutins lawyers will file defamation charges.

[smedly]

I nearly bust an artery laughing at that headline 

 

but seriously it is 100% correct by their own defenition of so called fake news - speaking untruths in public to the public

No. It was a funny angle.

[spidermike007]

Sweet. This kind of thing needs to be stepped up to the point that the goons can barely keep up with the resistance we are putting into their paths. Threats or no threats, you guys have failed miserably, and must be made to pay a very heavy price for this extreme malfeasance.

 

Guilty! Prayuth, Anutin and Phiphat. Guilty of constantly lying and spreading bad, false, or unreliable information. Lock them up!

[sammieuk1]

Glad to see someone is reading my posts give him support and get them complaints flooding in there are thousands to come ????

[khunPer]

In a way understandable, i.e. accuse health minister Anutin for alleged false vax statements.

No, it won't go anywhere and they know this. It's an ambit claim to get the point across in the media that he is continually misleading the public. Fairly sure the majority know he's and idiot but as the ol' saying goes **** sticks and the more that's slung the more that sticks. One step up the ladder is where most should be directed. Cut off the head of the snake.

This is a most interesting comment in The Land of Smiles. One could go as far as to say completely misguided.

[CALSinCM]

Nobody in any government is culpable unless their political enemies have control over the judiciary.  A corollary to that statement is that virtually all politicians are made of Teflon.  "The enemy of my enemies is my friend."  So The Public is pretty much the enemy of all political animals, and those political animals allow each other to feed off of the herd unimpeded.  Sure, they'll shout at each other, call each other names, but other than that - nothing happens. 
Politics and Thelema have one common principle:
"Do as thy wilt is the whole of the law."  Unlike the politicians, Thelema adds, "Love is the law, love under will."  Politicians being self-serving animals have only self-love, therefore the world is theirs for the harvesting. 
"Truth" is only what the powerful define as Truth.  Conversely, there are no lies, other than what they define as lies.

And here is where we arrive:

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
-George Orwell

As  Mando the Mandalorian would say "This is the way".  Always tit for tat here and unfortunately the flip side of the coin always comes with other strings that the Government players can yank.

[outsider]

Nah, nothing will happen to this git, or any other ministers/members of the cabinet.

 

Out of curiosity - anyone from Malaysia here? Is this Anutin baboon still better,  just as bad, or worse, than the Malaysian Health Minister? For the record, the latter claimed warm water cures Covid-19 infection, mistook a water dispenser for a hand-sanitiser dispenser and called the Spanish Flu 'Spanish Fly'. Amongst other gaffes, so it seems.
